First month Surgversity!!
Today is it. One month out and the Great Adventure continues. So far, so good. I had a real easy surgery and recovery. My sleeve is treating me with gentle tolerance and in return I am working hard to do things right--protein, liquids and lots of walking. Thanks to everybody who posts on this forum. I come here regularly for support, information and inspiration. I feel like I'm walking down the path holding hands with so many of you, and we are all headed toward that sun that is our new tomorrow. Smiles your way. I tied (unsuccessfully) to post an old, before picture and one taken today- but a person could see them on my profile. It was hard to find any old pictures as I tended to disappear when cameras were around. Smiles to all !
